So, when playing a DND oneshot, my best friend decided to play a goose named Delores who is an OSHA inspector. And I will say, Delores is very good at her job. So good in fact that she has shown up in the background of our other campaigns, and may have ascended to heaven. Anywho, that was to answer your question about how geese would work in infrastructure. Also, the raccoon girls may be my favorite thing ever.

[@leiaanderson8859]

Omg, that is wonderful xDD

[@Jesus.Is.God.Incarnate]

Jesus loves you! 🤍 He died to pay for your sins so that you can be forgiven and you can be free! God will never abandon you, he is always waiting to forgive you, you are never too far away! 🤍 In Christ you will find true healing, peace, security, identity and love! 🤍 Seek God! He is calling out to you!

[@sockgoblin2942]

I’m really interested now in Delores’ stats. What’s her charisma? Her fire resistance?

Each of these characters need their own full comic book. They are so fun♥️

[@nekoplayer2279]

I would DEFINITELY love the dog and koi fish comic. It would be really cool!

[@lionlessart]

I love them. Though I just gotta say, Neil the seal looks like if Steve Harvey was an animorph.

[@PricklyAlpaca]

I hate that this thought has entered my brain

[@ascrinkleyfellow]

@@PricklyAlpaca Well, you drew the image

[@Souchirouu]

Ohh for me it was Neil the seal Tyson (ie Neil Degrasse Tyson)

[@breanda]

for me it was the walrus guy from tusk 😭

[@ArtisticBear721]

You cannot convince me that the cat and the horse wouldn't make a good couple. I can imagine the horse holding up an umbrella (or a shield) to protect the cat from the rain, and then the cat being super sassy about it, but actually being thankful.

[@etoileshine1011]

If I had to name the racoon girls it would be Rocky & Roxy.

[@AngelavengerL]

that would be such cute names!

[@purplelily7764]

I love sweet popular girl trope. Like sometimes people are super popular because they’re super nice and friendly (usually they are also really pretty which helps). Like the sister in Lisa Frankenstein is so fun and adds more dimension to the story than if she was just a jerk.

[@artsy_fartsy_chel]

2:16 WAIT... Rodney is my cat!!! I'm so happy! Some Rodney (full name Meredith Rodney McCat :) lore - we have a tally on the fridge of all the critters he brings in (both alive and dead) with a blank tally for "solar system". I guess it's time to update that tally ;)

[@peachydoodles]

❤!

[@R0yalty808]

In MY personal headcanon, i believe that all of these characters live in the same world because there's no way that all the witches, gods, knights, pirates, and mermaids don't live in the same world, js at different times ALL OF THEM live in the same world...excluding the Spidersonas ig but oh well I js rlly want a world with all of them 😭like if the knights have an ongoing fight with the pirates/witches

[@mus3.j4yd3n]

I like to imagine that maybe the teen slasher characters are running through the woods and then… uh oh, Cassidy’s butt skirt thing gets caught on a tree stump and rips, and then she’s really upset about it and Claude is just like, ughhhh, all you popular kids are the same, you only care about your clothes and how you look, ughhh… but thennnnnn, Cassidy is all like, what no, this was my mom’s wedding vale, it’s the only thing I have left of her… and then Claude is very caught off guard and like, okayyyyyy, I guesssssss your not as terribly shallow as I thought you were, and then later on, she puts cute little bandaids on a cut he gets, and before she knows he’s with the other slasher, she tries to defend him against the slasher dude when he finds them and she’s really hurt when she finds out he’s in on it, but in the end when Claude dies, shes super sad and promises to give him a good funeral, you know, like Final Girls type style a bit (the 2016 movie) ………………………………………………………………… yes I’m crazy, good night.

[@Lakeside80]

I like how you made the mermaid Koi chubby. I like seeing non-convention bodied mermaids and that build seems quite fitting for a carp-based mermaid.

[@peachydoodles]

Fun fact: looking at real sea creatures If there were mermaids they would have thick skin with blubber and therefore be fat They'd also have scary teeth and clear or dark skin

[@monster-enthusiast]

I think it would be cool collab idea to take the same images and see how each artists interprets them.

[@g00se_ars0nist]

I VOLUNTEER!! I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!

[@purplelily7764]

Gotta send this idea to drawfee. Also prickly alpaca would be a good drawfee guest

[@justagiraffe9434]

I have ideas for Cassidy and Claude. Firstly, the ringleader for the whole "murder the cruel popular kids" plot is a guy who's fairly popular himself, but nowhere near the likes of the others. Claude hears the plan and the leader(camren) figures he wont say anything, and hey maybe he'll join them to get some vengeance. Those kids are the ones who started the rumors about him being in a gang and beating people bloody. And it'd be a perfect scapegoat for him. Cassidy wasn't supposed to go to that house party but was pressured by her friend Amy to go. She's not as high on the totem pole as they are but everyone in their year does know her name. Camren and the others are fine with not killing Cassidy. she's on the outer circles on popularity like them. Plus camren hopes that after hearing the others have died, she'll go to him for comfort(again he doesn't know she's going to that house party). Claude shows up to the house party, unsure what he's doing or who he'd warn. The police wouldn't believe him, they already think he's in a biker gang. His peers won't believe him, they'd accuse him of being that killer. And a small part of him wants to cash in the "beating a guys face to a pulp" allegations but that's all. Claude brings a flashlight and knife just in case camren was joking. Cassidy has no plans of running into camrens arms, especially after seeing him stab Amy. One of the other killers sees a flash of white and red run into the woods away from the bloodbath and knows they have a witness to kill. Claude sauntered into the woods after hearing the first screams, too late to protect any of those fuckers anyway. But then this tiny girl barrels into him and drags him further from the house, repeating how they have to get away right now before they find them. Cassidy doesn't know who this dude in the dark coat is but she knows she has to get to the police. After 10 minutes of sprinting she asks his name, and it's the quiet dude from her English class. She hadn't even thought he might be in on the plan until she sees how easily he uses the knife to cut vines out of their way. At some point in their bonding, Claude gives Cassidy the knife, as a promise he won't kill her and starting her journey to final girl-dom. I dunno what else but I had some ideas to share. And I think they'd talk about breakfast to lighten the mood. They agree that hash browns are best crispy and shredded and disagree about pancakes(Cassidy) vs. waffles(Claude)

I WANT THAT MOVIE TO BE TRUE PLZ

[@lexisixel8684]

Slasher Cats sounds like an awesome movie!

[@nekoplayer2279]

I love the dog and the koi fish and the raccoons! The dog and koi drawing makes me think it's a fusion of Spirited Away and Ponyo/Little Mermaid, and I love it! And I definitely see the raccoon twins to have personalities similar to Azula and Ty Lee, since I'm also an Avatar fan!

[@soraiadias6425]

the slasher cats and racoon girls were my favorites, so much details and such cool stories.

[@Maimgocouncil]

Some background on Neil - He isn’t a full grown adult yet. From what I know he’s a young adult, since he’s not fully grown yet he can’t get near the mating grounds since the big guys don’t take kindly to anyone. Seals his age don’t stand a chance fighting the fully grown males. These seals spend most of their life in the water so they only come on land to make and raise pups. Neil still has the instinct to go on land so the safest place to be is away from the beaches all the big seals are on. So he basically just goes into the human town. Neil and seals like him are giant. As of now he’s about the size of a human adult but one day he’s going to be almost the size of a car. He’s a wild animal and is dangerous. Tourists and some dumb people sometimes mess with him which could lead to him being put down for public safety reasons. This has happened before, in Australia there was once a young female walrus that was hanging around a much more populated area. Same deal of it going viral and people loving it. To many people got close or touched her and in the end the local government had out her down. Neil is in a less populated area so he hasn’t been bothered as much.

[@MonsterEnergyDrink_Miku]

I LOVE WHEN YOU DREW THE GOUSSE YOU PUT THE SONG THAT COMES ON FOR THE GEESE IN ARISTOCATS

I love that in the last one the chip bag in the back says “chips?”

[@WSchmidt09]

Really late to the party, but these are fantastic! I adore the raccoon sisters whole vibe and look; it's always a treat to see you draw more wild, crazily energetic expressions in contrast to the comparatively stoic ladies with swords.

[@Iwantfood137]

There is so many animation possibilities with your art and the way you come up with their backstories as you go is AMAZING LIKE DISNEY 👏🏾PIXAR👏🏾DREAMWORKS👏🏾 WAKE UUPPP

[@emmasilva5127]

Some background on the two raccoons on the vespa: The original image is from a talented and hilarious author/blogger Jenny Lawson a.k.a The Bloggess (highly recommend looking her up). Those are two of her beloved taxidermy racoons (Rory and Rory II) on an American Girl Vespa (She has a whole blog post about the picture). Super random but I thought I'd put it out there. The new character design of them are *chefs kiss* amazing job 🤣

[@anielamargiotta6958]

I was not prepared to ship the two cats (claude and Cassidy) so dramatically. It’s giving social rivals troupe , secrets and betrayal, two way character development, scary murdery hot guy. I would read this if it was a book.

"What in the Lisa Frank is THIS?!" Underrated comment of the year

[@Floralcrafts]

I’ve only made it to Claude and Cassidy but I’m not gonna lie, I’m obsessed with them.

[@cjthefox]

Hey Kira! Sorry for being late on this one... For the last story the head canon I'm getting for these two girls is that they are actually homeless friends/sisters together. I'm imagining a story where two teen girls are in the foster care system and as expected its not a perfect place to be until they meet one another and become best friends slowly the two bond over shared experiences maybe even already being sisters as a plot twist later on in the hypothetical series but were separated at birth either for a sale in the adoption industry or various other reasons for child separation. The two eventually escape this system deciding the only family they have is each other and after so many rejections come up with the conclusion that "if you wanted us to throw us out like trash so bad, then you won't miss your actual trash!" a very Marceline inspired coping mechanism of 'I'm rejected cause I want to be!' they also use the trash as a food source and either live in the dump or the forest as you would expect to find a pair of raccoons using everything they steal and scrounge to create a new world for each other. Their fashion is entirely made of stuff they've swiped from thrift store and homeless shelter donation boxes as well as dumpsters near malls when not scouring the nearby neighborhood where their new neighbor and seeming antagonist would live. Who knows though... maybe Tabatha could end up adopting the two of them if she only knew... Amazing job! Have a blessed day!

[@Snak3guts]

I kind of head cannon Neil the seal being the two raccoon girls dad I feel like that'd be so cute and interesting

[@jaim8147]

20:05 This reminded me of an OC I've, a prince that gets cursed, simply because the girl that liked him was bitter that he didn't return her feelings. The curse made his head be detached from his body, but he purposely let's his head fall off. To scare or make fun off rude nobles. Sometimes he does it just to prank others. 😂

[@tamaraeads3650]

I love the mermaids and the raccoons! What a fun video! 💜

The last one gives me full-on Marauders vibes.

Like yeah they could have just asked but it's much more fun to cause utter chaos and what not.

Ok first of all : daaang did not expect a new video to pop up but it sure is a very pleasant surprise. Second of all : omg YES blue eye samurai is such a fire show !!!! Am so glad Netflix greenlit season2.

[@coreygallegos364]

I'm still early in the vid looking at the horse and cat but advice to make them look more like a story is to make them interact with each other like the horse hugging the cat to protecter her with the shield or even make them look at each other, if you took each of them out of the picture they stand alone and you couldn't tell that there was suppose to be another person there, make them talk to each other or any kind of touch it'll really tell a story 😊

[@barokemoman3307]

So funny to see Neil as a lollipop man❤ Yep that what we call crossroad guards here in Australia haha

[@ianeisenman]

He's so Neil and dear to my heart 🤣

[@trashotaku]

I headcannon that the reason why Neil’s geese friends look more duck-sized then geese size is because he’s just really big (which isn’t entirely inaccurate given the fact that Neil the Seal is a southern elephant seal, the largest species of seal in the world according to national geographic. Southern elephant seals have been known to grow up to 20 ft in length and weight up to 9k pounds (or 6.096 meters and 4.5 tons for those of you outside the US)

Okay this is a wild idea, but, quotes into characters?? From anywhere and everywhere, books, fanfiction, movies, art, murals, HISTORIC EVENTS, or made up by you, just making a character out of it, maybe using a pallet generator too for colors.

Giving the koi mermaids a more fish like appearance than human one is actually more accurate to the actual Japanese merfolk, the Ningyo which were often depicted as fish with the heads of humans
